A surprise last night!

I got home from work late last night (10:00 p.m.) and what did I see when I walked into the house?? Kitchen lights were turned off, but there were candles on the table, a hot veggie sandwich and French fries waiting for me, a glass of wine, and Mozart music in the background. They had used ketchup to write on the plate “I ♥ U”. Both of my kids had been hiding behind the counter and when I came through the kitchen door, they popped up and said in unison “I love you Mom!” I tell you, it just made my heart melt!

Earlier during the day, I had heard a woman speak on her experience as a victim of a sexual predator 14 years ago. She said it felt like the assault took place just yesterday. Fourteen years ago, yet she was still living the experience! She said she had no family and no one to bury her when she died. I felt so sad while listening to her. Then when my kids did what they did, it emphasized how blessed I am to have people in my life who truly care about me.

I am so lucky to have such great kids!! (Even though we do have our moments, LOL!)
